YIKES: An ex 'Gilmore Girls' employee has sued the production company

Just when you thought the town of Stars Hollow had returned to its rest following the recent revival, a new drama has thrown Gilmore Girls back into the headlines.

Series producer Gavin Polone has sued Warner Bros. for using creative accounting practices to deprive him of residuals for the Netflix revival of the noughties show.

This lawsuit is the fourth dispute between Polone and the studio over Gilmore Girls residuals in the last 16 years. In this case, Mr Polone claims that Warner Bros. charged a 10% distribution fee that ended up reducing profits by $2 million - a very serious claim.
